A collage of satirical and stray wires touches on presidents, explorers, aviation critics, novels, and a host of global quirks. It mocks war talk, tech promises, and social curiosities while stitching in mispunctuated names and oddball observations from the era.
Sylvia pilots the Overland down a perilous grade with a fireman and an anxious crew aboard. The president of the railway and other officials listen to Howard’s tale of a sick engineer replaced by Fox the wife of a man who may now run the engine.
A fire rough scene unfolds as Sylvia, scarred and soot streaked, is carried by a veteran runner while crowds applaud. President Stamford emerges through the throng and embraces her, her emotions breaking into tears as she begs him to call her “dear little red-head” again.
A ranch-born youth educated in the East returns westward each summer and dances with a heavyset young woman near Rahway. After an uphill bout of dancing he collapses into exhaustion while she notes a sticky floor, then reveals she still has her rubbers on.
A stylistically dressed man asked for a seamen’s return to Birmingham at a Southern seaport station. The clerk doubted his claim, saying returns are for sailors only. The man insisted he’s a waiter, with the stationmaster intervening to grant the ticket, declaring him a sailor.
The Kansar City Journal recalls Algernon Swinburne studying babies before writing about babyhood. A bachelor visitor gazed at a sleeping infant and felt joy at its seraphic smile until the nurse whispered that wind troubles the child. Swinburne then avoided poems on babies dreams.
Mia in Newrleh tends Parsley while old Henry clings to antique luck lore. A bear riding cure is mocked as superstition though Henry insists it once helped a child. The baby recovers from whooping cough without the bear, as onlookers hear the strange tale.
Charles Frohman finds humor in a woman friend's naivete as her young daughter seeks a "beautiful play" with ginger wine. The mother fears demoralization from current productions and questions the film's suitability, entertaining a maid as chaperone for a theater outing, while noting the risk of a society drama.
In a New York tale by Arthur Gutterman, Friedrich von Heusen the Hessian trooper is depicted as a fearsome figure during the British occupation. A pond near the town becomes a haunted site where the jails, rebels, and a sinister Collect lure, culminating in a monstrous demise of the captive rebel Friedrich amid lake and legend.
The Jersey summer girl combats mosquitos by using joss sticks. Fragrant smoke from the sticks, worn in the hair or around the neck, deters pests at seashores and in woods. Stores report booming sales of these inexpensive incense sticks for outdoor protection.
